Maximilien , absolutely stunning work on this cockpit.
Many thanks for sharing your work, just been tweaking it a bit and trying it out.

Can I ask how / if it's possible to reduce the amount of reflection on the gauge area? Is there some simple number that can be changed in the .x file someplace to reduce this slightly?

Dang its hard getting an image below 50kb to post here.

For my own use I have made my own "flavour" of the gunsight and pitch ladder for this cockpit, also made the whole display a soft blue and less bright (I use a darkened room to play in).

The level-indication has also been fixed so a barrel roll works properly.

If you'd like the files I've modded (note the gunsight and side-of-ladder level-indicators) to put into your next release of your cockpit Maximilien please let me know and I'll send them across for you to change as you wish.

I'd rather send them to you and add to your work if you approve of the new bits, instead of just releasing them myself.

(I know that the pitch ladder in centre may not be to everyone's taste).

hmm, testing photobucket for first time...

Absolutely awesome work. Reminds me a bit of vassudan/gao'uld design-schemes. I like. And I finally got it working, it looks stunning in-game. Yeah, I'ma keep this as my standard I think.

ECCO1 : very good ! i like your modding... very cool design.

If you want to share, i take it !

I like the top bar design and the display of coordinate information.

Although a beautiful design for a cockpit, I used it only for a short while. The surface is a bit reflective, and so if I am facing away from a star, I get some glare off it. This shouldn't happen, really, because the back of the cockpit is not transparent, but it happens anyway.

Maximilien, U2U sent with dowload link.
Use what u want from it, be good to see some of it used in a full official version from you

The font is a freebie called Glass Gauge.

So, does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the reflection from the gauge area??

Very nice. Mainly what I was looking for. ( With a few rather small differences.) Wish I could mod stuff like that.

Best way to learn is to take the above mod and open in with Photoshop or Paint. Save the original and try your hand at modding the mod. If you make a mess of it, make another copy and try again.

Very cool.....Nice work.....

I finally decided to try on the beautiful HUDs and cockpit you guys have made. And I have to say WOW you guys did an awesome job! That stuff looks fan-friggin-tastic! Absolutely spectacular, well done guys.

EDIT:
I would also be VERY curious to see ECC01's HUD in action though:

Any news on it by any chance?...

Great hud and cockpit! Any way we could turn down the glare? I can't even read my instruments sometimes but it looks so good!

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 7:44 am

@ ECC01:

Do you think it is possible you could release your HUD for public use? I love the looks of it and would like to try it out in combination with Max's cockpit.

Is anyone else having problems with Maximillien's Cockpit mod in MultiPlayer?

It works fine in SP (by the way it's absolutely gorgeous, well done Maximillien!!). But everytime I try MP the game crashes to desktop at the moment of "entering universe". I downloaded the mod from the link in the first post... is there another more recent one that I've missed?

I'm assuming that there's a problem with the Remula 1 server and mods. I can run all of the mods fine on our private Shacknews server but the second I join Remula it crashes.

I use this mod just fine on R1 server.

Post by **Marvin** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 1:03 am

Denny was having lag today but I ran it okay, no problem. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to load (the loading screen slows down where it says it's creating the cockpit) ... but I'm not so sure it only happens when launching to the R1 server.

Sinbad · Post by **Sinbad** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:00 am

Hmm... I wonder if it has something to do with wifi connection to internet? Today I'll try again with a cable internet connection.

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 1:10 pm

Wireless connection certainly can play a role in connection problems and lag....I do not use it any more for Evochron Games....

:P

I also use the HUD on R1 with no probs

Sinbad · Post by **Sinbad** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 9:44 am

Yippee! Problem resolved! It was the WIFI connection. When I connected to internet via a cable I was able to load the game with Maximillien's mod. Looks fantastic. Thanks Maximillien, you've got some great talent there.

This cockpit is completely awesome, Max! I love it!

From post: 113346, Topic: tid=7852, author=ECC01 wrote: So, does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the reflection from the gauge area??

Here's a modified ccpitreflect.x file that should fix the gauge reflections, for those interested. Just overwrite the old one in the hud folder.

http://www.box.com/s/qdmf9lcqrdqrelbst1vb

I also put a quick nav/inventory menu together that matches Max's cockpit style. Again, just toss the files in the hud folder.

Again, awesome work Max.
